Description

There is an interesting issue with translations, the yml configuration doesn't allow for specific mappings (that we need to support Fastlane and Android translations) but does allow for smooth integration (automatic pull/push of translations). The .tx/config has file specific mappings but no direct support for integration. So,

  • To use ".tx/config": We have to create/obtain a CI pipeline that will integrate GitHub and Transifex
  • To use "yml": We need to find a way to use the same mapping for both android and Fastlane

Ping @yurtpage @IzzySoft hoping there is an easier way out.

Research direction
Investigate the .tx/config file to understand current file specific mappings. Review the referenced Transifex community post and CLI documentation to find a way to integrate both Android and Fastlane translations. Consider creating a CI pipeline (e.g., using GitHub Actions) that handles the mapping logic. Reach out to @yurtpage and @IzzySoft for guidance on best practices.
